I am fairly new at this all yet. I got a full SNES wheel up and running and most things are fine, only missing a hand full of movies as far as I can tell. Moving into NES, Genesis and mame what I would really like to know is how can I get ROM sets to match the database files so that I dont need to alter a lot of files to get art and things like that to work. Snes had many things missing (Rev 1) on the end and I would need to add that to the rom and the art and I am trying to avoid that moving forward.

Hi guys I have a "trackball" wheel which pretty much has all mame games that require a trackball. I need to amend the sensitivity in each game manually. Is there an .ini file or something where I can set them all?. What I do now is go into the first game, Tab, go down to Analogue settings (I think that's its name) and amend it there. Then game two, do the same.... thanks Dave

How's everyone, I just installed the new Hyperspin release with Rocketlauncher a couple of days ago. I have everything pretty much figured out following SimplyAustin's instructions which are pretty much dead on. When I installed Mame and loaded the roms on rocket launcher and launch after auditing everything works fine. I have Windows 8 on the computer I bought to build the system. I ran into some issues when it updated to 8.1 so I reverted back to Windows 8. I do know that the rom path has to be accurate in order for Hyperspin to detect Rocketlauncher and run the rom. On my computer all the files are not labeled as .ini or.exe, so all the files just have the na…

I double checked all the paths and it was working correctly before. I started adding N64 today and when I launched hyperspin to check my settings i moved over to MAME to show my kid a game we used to play. None of the videos were coming up for some reason. Anyone else seen this? I have double checked all settings, deleted paths-restarted computer and reset paths and nothing can't seem to get them to show. If I go to folder and manually open vids they are fine thanks any help would be great

Newbie here. Haven't played Hyperspin in awhile and now having troubles pretty much across the board. Tried playing Nintendo Entertainment System and got the message: Cannot find a rom extension for nestopia in either of the two files:G:\Rocketlauncher\Settings\Nintendo Entertainment System\Emulators.ini G:\RocketLauncher\Settings\Global Emulators.ini Spent a long time searching and trying to figure this out but just can't fix it. Having trouble with other emus too but maybe fixing this one will show me what's wrong with the rest. I am pasting the Rocketlauncher log below. It's probably something simple and I know you guys will find it pretty quickly but please be…

Hi all. I'm new to this and am really struggling with this issue. The frontend is active, default and pointing to hyperspin in the RLui, yet it keeps looking in the Rocketlauncher databases folder for the xml when trying to launch a game. After frustrating hours of going in circles I've no idea what to do now and would much appreciate some help. Cheers

I followed the Giga Guide for setting up Taito Type X on my hyperspin setup which everything was straight forward. Thanks to the up-loader for taking his time and doing that for everyone. The issue I am having is that Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition loads like normal then as soon as it is going to go to the home screen it closes out, but you can still hear it in the background. I have the newest rocketlauncher and Hyperspin update. "There was an error waiting for the window "SF41- NOV 4 2010 14:01:12 ahk_classSF41. Please check you have the correct version emulator installed for this module, followed by any notes in the module, and have this emulator working outside …

Hey Guys, I have been following Austin's guide in getting Hyperspin setup and am now onto setting up retroarch. In particular - I am at the stage where I am setting up genesis. My rom names didnt match at first, so used the rom naming tool found on the forums here, which worked a treat and it found 95% of the roms, all showing up as green when I perform an audit in Rocket Launder. When I select a game in rocket launcher and choose "launch seleced game through rocket launcher", as Austin suggests you do, I get the error: "Could not find "ROM NAME" inside the archive with any defined rom extensions. Check if you are missing the correct rom extension for this…

Hello, Just upgraded my SSD OS drive as well as my 'media' HDD drive. Started getting this error (I don't think I received this before the change). I believe the error has to do possibly with Microsoft Visual C++ Here is the error: Activation context generation failed for "D:/HyperSpin/HyperSpin.exe".Error in manifest or policy file "D:/HyperSpin/HyperSpin.exe" on line 0. Invalid Xml syntax. A possible explanation for the error: I ran SxsTrace and recorded the log file when exec. Hyperspin: ================= Begin Activation Context Generation. Input Parameter: Flags = 0 ProcessorArchitecture = Wow32 CultureFallBacks = en-US;en ManifestPath …

Two issues for Player 2 controls in the main menu of hyperspin: 1. "Keyboard Delay" isn't working for player 2, meaning if I press "Up" it skips 2 or 3 wheels/games instead of just going up 1. On player 1, this isn't the case 2. Unable to set "Tab" as exit in HyperHQ. My question is, where is the file that saves each controller configuration? Maybe I can set it manually.

So I am not very computer savvy however I have set a goal to make a Hyperspin cabinet. I want to be able to run up to N64 unless I would have to buy a new computer, then I would want to run up to GameCube. So my current laptop computer is listed below, will this work with Hyperspin and emulators up to N64? Is there anything I could do to make it better? Intel® Core2 Duo CPU T7250 @ 2.00GHz RAM: 3.00GB 64 bit Operating System Running Windows 7 If I would need to buy a new computer what would you suggest? Thanks for the Help.

I've just spent several hundred of hours configuring and tweaking my HyperSpin/RocketLauncher setup, but I still have one issue I cannot overcome. I've got a huge amount of mame roms and I want to keep them organized as much as possible. My folder structure is as follow: ----Main MAME folder (root contains only sub-folders) Atari Classics Data East Classics Misc etc... In HyperHQ I've set the path to the MAME root folder and set the option "Search Subfolders" to "Enabled" and in RL I've added the paths of the root folder plus every single sub-folders. RocketLauncher detects and run the games without issues, However in HyperSpin when I want to access "Arcade Classics…

Hello everyone, This is my first ever post in the forum, so please go easy on me. I am following Austins youtube videos and installed RetroArch. When I try to run his packaged version, my screen goes blank but the sound is still running from the youtube video. I downloaded the latest version of Retroarch (I'm running WIN 10) and can run it just fine. The problem comes when it tries to go full screen. It goes all blank and does nothing... Any suggestions? UPDATE: When I set my monitor to extend (to my TV) it works? Not sure why... This is a big hassle though as I would want it on duplicate... when it's on duplicate it screws up.

Hi There I got a good romset for Atari 2600. I renamed tham using Don's utility and load them in Hyperspin/Rocket launcher. I notice many roms are duplicated and other are from Europe (I'm in the americas). I'm not interested in having the European versions of the games in the wheel. Also, I'm missing some games and I would like to disable them from the wheel. Is there a way to select the specific games from Europe and disable them? How can I disable the games I don't have roms from the wheel? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

I'm running the latest versions of Hyperspin, Rocket Launcher and Nestopia. When running Hyperspin in window mode, Nestopia starts up and runs just fine. However when I run Hyperspin in full window mode, I get the following: Select NES game file from Hyperspin wheel Screen goes black Then screen returns back to the Hyperspin wheel without starting the NES game. Pressing the Alt Tab key brings up all of the programs running including Nestopia. I can select Nestopia from the list and the game will then load and start. Has anyone else had this issue? I didn't see anything in the forums when I did a search.

Greetings, I am a noob to HS and gaming for that matter but have been a network engineer for roughly 25 years and am very comfortable with Windows and networking. I've been lassoed into assisting a neighbor with his new hobby - he has compiled a bunch of components (PC Herculean motherboard (Intel chipsets), 8T external HD, old but beautifully made-over game console, very impressive 4 player joystick and button UI panel etc you get the picture) one of which is the Ultimark iPAC4 keyboard encoder which he couldn't seem to get working. I was able to assist him in getting the keyboard encoder up and talking to the PC and I might add that he procured the 8Tb drive preloade…

Hi guys, I am losing my mind on this one. I am fairly new to hyperspin but definitely know my way around to get things working. I have fusion working with genesis/mega drive games no problem and I can run Earthworm Jim Special sega CD outside of hyperspin in Fusion no problem. As it is, when I select the game in hyperspin it just goes to a black screen most of the time and nothing happens. I get no errors. Any thoughts would truly be appreciated!

Hi all, I am new to Hyperspin. I have it on my cab, all running with MAME. Everything seems to work, except for the ability to jump through the list. I am viewing all games, and there are a lot. When I try to jump (left or right on the joystick) either, nothing happens, or I end up at the same game that Hyperspin started on. (Cab is an original arcade machine converted, with a JPAC and PC etc) If I hold the joystick over for a while, I get a ?. I can not then select a letter of the alphabet at all. Just the question mark stays. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it. What am I doing wrong here? In HyperHQ, I set the games to jump 400 at a …

So everything was working yesterday. Today I got and XBOX One controller to replace the 360. It, of course, didn't work so I downloaded JoyToKey and used a tutorial to set it up. I tried to set it up to work with HyperSpin via RocketLauncher per an online guide. The controller was unresponsive. So per the guide I set the path in HyperHQ to JoyToKey and made another profile. Everything is responsive and works great in HyperSpin but when I start a game and at any point press B (which is my default esc for HyperSpin) it will back me out of the game. Anyone ever had this issue?

I am currently using a tankstick in mode 1. It works well, except I cannot exit games back into the HyperSpin front end. I have tried to assign this in HyperHQ to multiple buttons, but cannot get it to work and there really isn't any one button I can assign to be the "Escape" key. Thoughts on what to try next? Thank you!

My HyperHQ has become unstable for reasons unknown. When I try to assign pathways to any hard drve, the pointer flashes, and HyperHQ will shutdown at random time intervals. If I can get the changes made before it crashes, they do save. Hyperspin and Rocketlauncher seem to be uneffected, and other programs accessing the hard drives are likewise uneffected. Just as additional background, I7-2600 machine with 12gb memory. 2 X 2tb and 1 4tb drives. I did run Maleware bytes and hitman over it to rule out any odd malware and came up clean.... Looking on a direction to investigate to fix this.... Neil
